Blog for Iowa would like to wish everyone a safe and peaceful holiday season.

An invitation from Ed Flaherty, Veterans for Peace and PEACE Iowa

Dear Peacemaking Friends,

Pardon my intrusion on Christmas Eve. Looking to extend the message of Peace to Friday, December 29th. The need is excruciating. Hope you can join us.

The Last Peace Vigil of the Year

Please come join Veterans For Peace and PEACE Iowa on Friday, December 29th, 3:30 to 4:30 at the East entrance to the Pentacrest, on Clinton St. Listen to the voices of many organizations working for peace. Witness for Peace, Hear Peace, Speak Peace. Who will stand for peace if you don’t?

Let your resolute voice for peace resonate into the New Year. Signs will be available, or bring your own.

(Decorum appropriate for a peace vigil will be maintained).

About the Friday peace vigil
from PEACE Iowa website

STAND UP FOR PEACE!

Peace in the Middle East, peace everywhere
Fridays 3:30 to 4:30 pm at the intersection of Iowa Avenue and Clinton Street on the University of Iowa Pentacrest in Iowa City

This weekly gathering has been going on for years and welcomes participants who want to stand up for peace anywhere in the world. Many UI students have recently joined this weekly gathering for peace to advocate for peace in Gaza.

Give 10 minutes or an hour, but ADVOCATE for Peace and Justice. There will be handouts and signs, AND, invite a friend to join you, maybe someone who has never done this.

Sponsored by Veterans for Peace #161 and PEACE Iowa.
